Lance Kilkenny has a debt to pay, and if he doesn't watch his step, he'll pay it with his own blood.

Lance Kilkenny is believed to be the fastest gun in the West, but once the gunfight is over, he disappears. Most folks don't even know what he looks like. Some time back, Mort Davis saved Kilkenny's life. Now Davis needs Kilkenny's help. He has filed a claim on a water hole near Lost Creek, a district dominated by two wealthy cattlemen, each claiming the hole for himself. Beautiful Nita Riordan owns the local saloon, and between her charms and the feuding ranchers, Lance Kilkenny has his work cut out for him.

From the Publisher:

Kilkenny has a debt to pay, and he isn't about to let the friend who saved his life go down in a range war. But when the gunman tries to stop the fighting, he finds there's more at stake than land or wire. Someone has big ideas for the Live Oak country, and an army of hired guns to back him up. And Kilkenny doesn't watch out, he'll pay the debt with his own blood.

From the Back Cover:

Kilkenny owes Mort Davis his life, so when Davis finds himself caught in a violent struggle between two powerful and arrogant families, Kilkenny answers the call for help. He tries to broker a peace between the warring patriarchs, Webb Steele and Chet Lord, but soon realizes that Steele and Lord are merely pawns in a sinister plot that could destroy both men, their families... and anyone who gets in the way. It's a grab for money and power, involving a mysterious and reclusive beauty, a psychotic killer, and a dark figure from Kilkenny's past who's determined to get what he wants -- and what he wants most of all is Kilkenny dead.
